Is it possible to build muscle while doing posture correction excercises?

Since the only way to fix posture is to strengthen the weak muscles incapable of supporting the pretzel poses you inflict on your body, the answer to your question is yes.

Should I do regular work aswell or just focus on fixing my posture first?

Follow a program with progressive overload on full body heavy compounds. Prioritize deadlifts, rows, and pull-ups.

I can't do any of the big lifts properly until I fix my posture, what are some excercises I could do regardless of that to build muscle mass?

If you can't manage an empty bar, you need a physical therapist.

I have shit posture because I’m at a computer all day and have played video games my entire life. I stretch at all times during the day. Whenever I’m passing through a door I’ll stretch, I’ll get up occasionally and do chest stretches. Just when I’m walking around I’ll do stretches, like clasping my hands behind my back and stretching my chest/front shoulders. It’s helped tremendously, all my lifts have become easier and less painful because of stretching. I used to get pain every single time I did bench press or overhead presses.
